Just Bricked my 5DII :(

[Derek W]

Got home from work tonight and thought I'd have a little play with my camera. Within a few seconds it got bricked

Canon 5DII + 24 - 70 mm f2.8 'The Brick' =

Absolutely stunning lens, just want this crappy weather to clear up so i can take a few shots with it. Bought to replace my aging and fungal infected 28 - 105 and largely to be used for headshots / teamshots at the footy along with some landscape stuff till i get the cash together for the 16 - 35 mm f2.8.

Nah, that keyboard in the background is straight out of the bargain bin - I know because I have the same one.

Been looking for a bit of an all rounder and this one fits the bill quite nicely. Got rid of my 50 mm this week and banished the 28 - 105 to a bag which probably wont see the light of day again.

As for the grip issue, with the type of photos I predominantly take there isn't much call for portrait held shots so dont see the need for it as my camera is sitting on a tripod / monopod

The worrying thing for me is that the amount I've spent on lenses this past 6 months I'm about to get rid off again paying part of my student loans! Wanting to go debt free before taking the plunge into buying a house so no more lenses for a while.....even though i just want one......and a 1DIV.........and maybe a 400 f2.8 to go with it

If you need to offload it quick I'll happily borrow it from you

I'll keep you in mind steeps but I fear you may be waiting a while
